Yes! I took my time finishing the game, but am glad I did, too

The Importance of not skipping breakfast: a review (2021)

Skipping meals (...) reduces daily energy intake, but the reduction in daily diet quality (particularly when skipping breakfast) may impact health negatively over time. (2020)

Skipping dinner was identified as a significant predictor of weight gain...(2021)

Tldr, Reduction in calorie intake as a sole measure does nothing or harms you.

Holy shit I'm not the only one! The whole time while playing it I was super creeped out. Afterwards - no more nightmares.

I thought this was just a coincidence.

That second to last paragraph really got to me. For context Carlin was one of my "life anchors" that got me through depression/drug abuse while I was processing early childhood SA. To me he always seemed like a person who went through some of the same and came out on the other side angry and determined.

But I cannot contest that some people on the conservative spectrum are socially dumb/ignorant/malicious and will use any excuse they find in pop culture to be that way.

Right now I feel I cannot do your well thought out argument justice, so my reply is just letting you know I appreciate the work that went into your post.

I can tell you how I did it. Stopwatch and webcam. Also getting used to a set of questions helped answer different questions.

I started a stopwatch and only answered the questions in my head. Went through a set of 50 questions. Noted the time. (While typing this out I think it could have been 20 questions, not sure.) I did this only three times so I had a consistent baseline.

Then I sat in front of my webcam. Put it on mirror mode so I could see my face, since faces are the most distracting to me. I should note my cam back then had a noticeable 2 second lag so that was very annoying to me. And faces are my biggest distraction. Maybe something else is in order today, since I do not know how to recreate this effect with modern software. I had the camera hooked up with FireWire and mirrored with some freeware stuff. Also my face was the wrong way further irritating me.

Different set of questions. Same number. Started the clock again. Looking down reading, then looking into the webcam when answering the question. Sound of the cam was off. First try - Took a looooong time to get through.

I only did the webcam thing the other times. I just multiplied the baseline to the cards I was reading.

If this is actually helpful to others, I don't know. Maybe you can adapt this to your needs.

On the other hand there are fast card games where you need fast hand eye coordination to pick up and throw away cards depending on the cards your opponents are playing. I never figured out how to get better there. Still bad at it.

Edited to add: I also recorded one session and I realized how slow I was speaking. it never occurred to me before, since I usually think quite fast and was usually one of the first people to finish exams.

I think the general empathy is a very valid point you're making. I'll have to think about that.

I have trouble seeing it right now, but I'll think about it.

Out of curiosity: What humour do you use to cope with traumatic experiences? Do you think humour is even a good way?

It will get better I swear.

I have the same problem. For me training took care of this temporary muteness under pressure. Unfortunately training took longer than my relationship who loved to play lasted, but hey, now I'm at least OK in it (and really good when I get to the zone).

I think you are referring to this bit:

I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See? Hey, why do you think they call him "Porky," eh? I know what you're going to say. "Elmer was asking for it. Elmer was coming on to Porky. Porky couldn't help himself, he got a hard-on, he got horny, he lost control, he went out of his mind."

A lot of men talk like that. A lot of men think that way. They think it's the woman's fault. They like to blame the rape on the woman. Say, "She had it coming, she was wearing a short skirt." These guys think women ought to go to prison for being cock teasers: don't seem fair to me.

Don't seem right, but you can joke about it.

I read the entire bit. I do think he is roasting the rapey jocks, men who always deflect blame for their actions, the whole time.

Especially for the 90's where people idolized the Michael Douglas type rapey finance Bros this is (still) punching up.

If this is what you were talking about, can't follow your logic.

Thank you for this gem.

I can't even ...

all that is good and holy...

The Darkness....

Thank you.

Am I the only one thinking Tiktok and xcom among all the others are getting paid handsomely to boost right wing propaganda?

Some IRS agents have been reassigned to assist with deportation efforts, raising concerns about tax season disruptions.
